Hey, everyone! Do you enjoy Netflix? Well, you’re about to enjoy it even more when video games get added to the app. You will soon have the ability to play mobile games on Netflix. The co-founder of Netflix, Reed Hastings, wants to add video games to the platform.

Adding video games to Netflix could potentially be a great idea as the company could develop games based on popular shows or movies. Not only would it be cool to watch your favorite show on Netflix, but now you can play games with characters from your favorite shows! People have spent $175 billion on video games this year and half the money was spent on mobile games, the types of games that Netflix wants to make. If video games are added to Netflix, this could potentially boost their sales given the high demand for mobile games.

A possible feature Netflix could consider is multiplayer where users are given multiple controllers to play. While there isn’t a specified timeline for the development of games on Netflix, the idea has a great potential for the company and could increase customer satisfaction or attract new users.
